Arguing the American government has some level of moral superiority over the Chinese government doesn't address my question. As an American, what threat does the Chinese government's control of TikTok pose to me that Musk's control of Twitter doesn't? TikTok isn't going to force me into a reeducation camp or steal my organs. Yet the accusations of them manipulating public opinion for their own benefit could just as easily be leveled at Musk.

I think that the parent point cedes this point, and argues that Musk's benefits, incentives, and morality are more favorable to that of the Chinese government.
